There was so much to read, so much to see, and so much to experience. This is a very dark museum so if you have a weak stomach, are faint of heart if easily disturbed I would not recommend. Even still you are heavily warned about what is in each room should you not want to see or experience something by the staff. They were so helpful!! Their regular price is $25 OR $50 for a two day pass, tshirt, tote (or a pin), and sticker. Absolutely great deal if you're wanting some merch. Very spooky, eerie, and overall an interesting time!

You can book your ticket online to guarantee a specific tour time. You can also buy in-person at the ticket office at the entrance, but tours may fill up, and you could end up waiting. The entrance is behind the home off of President Street. The tour guide was a wealth of information! She was able to answer all questions with ease. The tour includes an in depth history of the home and people who lived there and tons of information on the architecture of the buildings. The tour focuses on the lives of the enslaved people who lived and worked on the property. There's an interest exhibit in the basement of the home with letters that provide insight into the lives of the enslaved people. The home and garden are beautiful, and I learned so much!

Honestly, I visited since I had some time to kill and they participate in the Bank of America Museums of Us program, which provides complimentary admission to cardholders the first full weekend of every month. While I do like art museums, modern art is generally not my cup of tea despite my many attempts to keep an open mind about it over the years. For a college/learning institution-based museum, it's pretty middle of the rung in its offerings. You can easily cover all the galleries within 10 minutes to an hour depending on your level of interest. They have a section of bells, which I found very unique. All of the staff I encountered throughout the museum were friendly, and the ones in the bell section were happy to ring bells upon request so guests can hear the resonance. While I wasn't overly impressed with the modern art on display, I did enjoy my short visit, and would recommend the SCAD Museum as a rainy day activity in Savannah to those who appreciate smaller museums focusing on modern art.

At the last minute, we scheduled Sistah Patt's Tour, and honestly this is by far the BEST ONE, and we did several here and in Charleston, while visiting from California. Sistah Patt is incredible and inspirational, fact-telling, and is currently in projects in Savannah, bringing proper recognition and truth-telling. I wish I had done a little research on her, as I did after leaving her tour...oh my, I probably would have asked so many more questions, I had no idea of the advocate she is. Let me leave you with this: Who in Savannah can change a Squares name, from Confederate Vice President (Calhoun), to Taylor Square, to honor Susie King Taylor, born into slavery, who became the 1st Black nurse to serve in the Civil War and later open a school for African Americans in Savannah? YES, Patt Gunn Can, and it happened only 2 years ago! This is the Tour you will want to do. This is the "Remarkable Woman" you will want to share/ask/listen to.

The Savannah History Museum has so much potential. Savannah is the first city in Georgia, the first…read morecapital of Georgia, the first planned city in America, the site of Georgia's largest revolutionary war battle (Siege of Savannah), the terminus of General Sherman's Civil War March to the Sea, the birthplace of famous Americans like Juliette Gordon Low, Clarence Thomas, and Flannery O'Connor, the site of over 2500 historically significant properties, and is an American cultural staple (Forrest Gump, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, ghosts, etc.). Strangely enough, the museum instead chooses to lead with exhibits like "1920s dentistry," "wildlife of the barrier islands," and "steam locomotives." When patrons finally get to the Savannah exhibits, the confusion intensifies. The exhibit on Savannah in WWII predeceases the exhibit on Savannah in the Civil War, and Savannah's revolutionary war history is told out of order. Perhaps the worst curation atrocity is that the museum's most famous piece, the "Forrest Gump bench," is behind a glass case. Really? The whole point of museums is interacting with history, and something as sturdy and repairable as a steel bench is a perfect "interactive exhibit" piece. Imagine how much more museum goers would enjoy their experience if they could get their photo taken on Forrest Gump's bench (perhaps even with a wax Tom Hanks sitting on it too!). Forrest Gump was released in 1994 and that bench won't be worth more than the steel its made with in 40 years--no reason to keep it behind a glass case. America is teaming with museum curators desperate for employment. The average SCAD Museum Studies major would froth at the mouth for an opportunity to curate a history museum for such a storied city like Savannah. Please bring in a professional to renovate this museum and have it live up to its true potential.
